PONS'S BODY FOUND.
The Man Either Drowned Himself Ac
Cfdentally or Intentionally.

cidentally or Intentionally.
The remains of John Pons, the
Frenchman who disappeared, over a
month ago, were found on the Malad
river last Saturday, at d point about
300 yards from the. place where his
horse was tied the 3rd of last June.
The corpse was badly decayed and so
offensive that it was only with great
difficulty that it was got in the coffin
and buried.
Deceased was last seen alive June
3. At that date he returned from
HALEY on horseback, rode to the
Malad, tied his saddle horse to the
willows bordering the stream, and
then walked into the willows. A
couple of days later the horse was
found with the band of horses where
he usually fed, and still had the saddle
on, but with one stirrup broken. 1t
was supposed that Mr.. Pons had gone
to Cassia county, as he had intended.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
of accidental drowning.
The deceased was a native of
France, and about So years old. He
leaves a wife and four children, in
destitute circumstances.

Child Thoughts.


"There is an honest work for every

work is already prepared for him. There
is something in his nature which says:

Sampson, when he was boy, some
times gave premonition of what he was
going to be, amusing himself by carry

mates with the jaWbone of a bleached
carcase, and, long before he fired off the
three hundred fox tails among the corn
shocks of the PhilistineS, had tried the
same extreme measure on the cats of his
fathers house. Cowley evinced the

glib tongue, and when fairly started, it
rattles like hail on tin roof. His des-

A Clever Escape from a Paris
Tail.

An escape has been made from the
Mazas gaol under most extraordinary
circumstances of unheard-of daring
and skill. A prisoner named Altmayer,
belonging to well-to.do Jewish family,
who was undergoing a term OF inn
prisonment for embezzling sum OF
nearl, $4,000 from Paris banker.
forced in his cell letter of dismissal,
and obtained his liberty by showing it
to the warders and hall porter.
It is supposed that while ne was
being examined in the Juge dInstruc-
TONS office he contrived, while the
Judges back was turned. TO stamp
and mark a sheet of writing paper. In
his cell he initiated with marvellous
skill the magistrates handwriting,
which he had leisure to study during
his confinement of two months and
half. Tho letter was an order, signed
by the Judge in the name of the pro-
curator, to set free the prisoner. He
enclosed this in an official envelope,
stolen, no doubt. from the Judges
offices, and on leaving this before en-
tering the van he handed it to his ward
or. with request to take it to the
prison director. Arrived at Mazas the
prisoner, after remaining for five
minutes with the otlier new inmates,
was called up and sent away free.

ccring corps began yesterday survey

This road, when built will be n paying
investment and of very great value to
this city in many ways. The greatest
benefit derived, which will be seen at

more direct connection with the East.
When the proper time arrives Abilene
people will encourage this road and
stand ready and waiting for propo-
sition. In the Dallas Morning News
of yesterday it was reported
that San Saba had a bonus of 100000
subscribed for the extension of the
Missouri Pacific from Dallas, via Wax
ahachie and other points, to that town,
but it is the opinion here that the far
seeing railroad managers, if an extern
sion Of the road is made, will not seek
competition and run into a country al
ready crowded with roads, but will
build through Cooke, Wise, Jack,
Young, Stephens, Shacklcford and
Taylor counties, and from Abilene
build an extension to San Saba b, 60

Their houses, which are the most

MARRIAGE NOT RECOGNIZED.
Marriage, as an institution, is ~
little understood rs chastity, and the
laws of consanguity are utterly disre-
garded, to which doubtless can be
attributed their mental and physical in
feriority and their steady decrease in
numbers. They are entirely destitute
of education and tradition, and do not
seem to possess the faintest idea OF
religion or morality. OF the Church
and school-house they are alike ignor-
ant. the only public institutions with
which they are familiar being the
asylum, the prison and the poor
house. When any of their number die
he is buried without service of any kind
near the lakes, the grave in every case
remaining unmarked and thus they
have lived and died for generations.
Christian communities would do well
to turn their attention to those pariahs
of the Bennewater lakes, whose de-
graded and miserable condition can
hardly be exaggerated; people in
whom the moral sense does not seem
to exist, and who are as completely
heather as if the first words of Christ
ian teaching were yet to be heard in
the land. Kingston Correspondent New
